My dear friend Lauren is writing her Masters Thesis in English Literature on “The Fallen Woman,” and she is currently conducting her research. Part of her project is collecting the public perception of who “The Fallen Woman” is, so your input would be greatly appreciated. Without further ado, here are her questions:
Who is the fallen woman? Can you give a literary representation of this woman aside from Eve or Mary Magdalen? What aspect of her behavior or what act, in particular, made her fallen? Why? Finally, is there a causal link between a woman’s sexuality and her personal and social identity?
Feel free to use the comments section as a forum for discussion.
